One way to avoid a lot of the <body> clutter is by converting your website over to the AMP — Accelerate Mobile Pages — standard, which is what I recently did with my primary website.
It was a lot of work — and very challenging and frustrating at times due to my own lack of knowledge — but I believe I made a wise choice. The thing about Google’s AMP specifications is that while most of it is standard HTML tags that we are familiar with — with a few new ones, or replacement tags thrown in the mix — it is also VERY strict, and a lot of standard HTML elements are firmly disallowed. For example: java scripts and java applets background images gradients external stylesheets inline font styles table summaries image borders etc. So how does this relate to your case? Well, for one thing, you cannot even use the <font> tag in the body of your AMP-compliant HTML document. All styling MUST be done in the head section of each HTML. The end result is that you have a MUCH cleaner and LESS complicated body section, where you will primarily use classes instead. Not only will your pages be cleaner by converting to AMP, but they will load faster as well, which offers its own array of benefits for a webmaster. For example, with Google’s PageSpeed Insights tool, all of my pages average 87 to 95 on a scale of 100, depending on whether I am looking at the mobile page score, or the desktop page score. Regarding that long string of closing </div> tags you are experiencing, my personal approach is to close a <div> tag just as soon as it is no longer needed, thus avoiding as much as possible, what you are now experiencing. I don’t know if any of the above will help you or not, but there it is for what it is worth. If you are interested in AMP, you can get a start here: https://www.ampproject.org/ Oh, I also highly recommend that you look into Jim Derry’s “Balthisar Tidy for Work” in the App Store. It is only $8, and is a very wise investment, in my view. Kind regards, Bill K.
